Fig. 5. Comparison of the amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of a cDNA fragment from unfertilized A. crassispina eggs with the deduced sequence of soluble guanylate cyclase of rat kidney. The deduced amino acid sequences are indicated by single-letter code. Sequenced A. crassispina cDNA fragment was 338 base pairs in length. The amino acid sequence of soluble guanylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.2) of rat kidney is taken from Yuen et al. (Yuen et al., 1990), and its catalytic domain is from residue 360 to 584 in the full length of 682 amino acid residues. The identical amino acids are indicated by asterisks below the sequences (55% match). Note the highly conservative homology in their deduced amino acid sequences.
